kkonganti@0 1 GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
kkonganti@0 2 Version 3, 29 June 2007
kkonganti@0 3
kkonganti@0 4 Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <https://fsf.org/>
kkonganti@0 5 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
kkonganti@0 6 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
kkonganti@0 7
kkonganti@0 8 Preamble
kkonganti@0 9
kkonganti@0 10 The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
kkonganti@0 11 software and other kinds of works.
kkonganti@0 12
kkonganti@0 13 The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
kkonganti@0 14 to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast,
kkonganti@0 15 the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to
kkonganti@0 16 share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
kkonganti@0 17 software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the
kkonganti@0 18 GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to
kkonganti@0 19 any other work released this way by its authors. You can apply it to
kkonganti@0 20 your programs, too.
kkonganti@0 21
kkonganti@0 22 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
kkonganti@0 23 price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
kkonganti@0 24 have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
kkonganti@0 25 them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
kkonganti@0 26 want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
kkonganti@0 27 free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
kkonganti@0 28
kkonganti@0 29 To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
kkonganti@0 30 these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have
kkonganti@0 31 certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if
kkonganti@0 32 you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
kkonganti@0 33
kkonganti@0 34 For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
kkonganti@0 35 gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
kkonganti@0 36 freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive
kkonganti@0 37 or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they
kkonganti@0 38 know their rights.
kkonganti@0 39
kkonganti@0 40 Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
kkonganti@0 41 (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License
kkonganti@0 42 giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
kkonganti@0 43
kkonganti@0 44 For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
kkonganti@0 45 that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and
kkonganti@0 46 authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
kkonganti@0 47 changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
kkonganti@0 48 authors of previous versions.
kkonganti@0 49
kkonganti@0 50 Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
kkonganti@0 51 modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer
kkonganti@0 52 can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of
kkonganti@0 53 protecting users' freedom to change the software. The systematic
kkonganti@0 54 pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to
kkonganti@0 55 use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we
kkonganti@0 56 have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those
kkonganti@0 57 products. If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we
kkonganti@0 58 stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions
kkonganti@0 59 of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
kkonganti@0 60
kkonganti@0 61 Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
kkonganti@0 62 States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
kkonganti@0 63 software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to
kkonganti@0 64 avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could
kkonganti@0 65 make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that
kkonganti@0 66 patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
kkonganti@0 67
kkonganti@0 68 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
kkonganti@0 69 modification follow.
kkonganti@0 70
kkonganti@0 71 TERMS AND CONDITIONS
kkonganti@0 72
kkonganti@0 73 0. Definitions.
kkonganti@0 74
kkonganti@0 75 "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
kkonganti@0 76
kkonganti@0 77 "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
kkonganti@0 78 works, such as semiconductor masks.
kkonganti@0 79
kkonganti@0 80 "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
kkonganti@0 81 License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and
kkonganti@0 82 "recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
kkonganti@0 83
kkonganti@0 84 To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
kkonganti@0 85 in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
kkonganti@0 86 exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
kkonganti@0 87 earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
kkonganti@0 88
kkonganti@0 89 A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
kkonganti@0 90 on the Program.
kkonganti@0 91
kkonganti@0 92 To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
kkonganti@0 93 permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
kkonganti@0 94 infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
kkonganti@0 95 computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying,
kkonganti@0 96 distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
kkonganti@0 97 public, and in some countries other activities as well.
kkonganti@0 98
kkonganti@0 99 To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
kkonganti@0 100 parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through
kkonganti@0 101 a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
kkonganti@0 102
kkonganti@0 103 An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
kkonganti@0 104 to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
kkonganti@0 105 feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
kkonganti@0 106 tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
kkonganti@0 107 extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
kkonganti@0 108 work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If
kkonganti@0 109 the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
kkonganti@0 110 menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
kkonganti@0 111
kkonganti@0 112 1. Source Code.
kkonganti@0 113
kkonganti@0 114 The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
kkonganti@0 115 for making modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source
kkonganti@0 116 form of a work.
kkonganti@0 117
kkonganti@0 118 A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official
kkonganti@0 119 standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
kkonganti@0 120 interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
kkonganti@0 121 is widely used among developers working in that language.
kkonganti@0 122
kkonganti@0 123 The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other
kkonganti@0 124 than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
kkonganti@0 125 packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
kkonganti@0 126 Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
kkonganti@0 127 Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
kkonganti@0 128 implementation is available to the public in source code form. A
kkonganti@0 129 "Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
kkonganti@0 130 (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
kkonganti@0 131 (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
kkonganti@0 132 produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
kkonganti@0 133
kkonganti@0 134 The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
kkonganti@0 135 the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
kkonganti@0 136 work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
kkonganti@0 137 control those activities. However, it does not include the work's
kkonganti@0 138 System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
kkonganti@0 139 programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
kkonganti@0 140 which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source
kkonganti@0 141 includes interface definition files associated with source files for
kkonganti@0 142 the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
kkonganti@0 143 linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
kkonganti@0 144 such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
kkonganti@0 145 subprograms and other parts of the work.
kkonganti@0 146
kkonganti@0 147 The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
kkonganti@0 148 can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
kkonganti@0 149 Source.
kkonganti@0 150
kkonganti@0 151 The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
kkonganti@0 152 same work.
kkonganti@0 153
kkonganti@0 154 2. Basic Permissions.
kkonganti@0 155
kkonganti@0 156 All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
kkonganti@0 157 copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
kkonganti@0 158 conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
kkonganti@0 159 permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a
kkonganti@0 160 covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
kkonganti@0 161 content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your
kkonganti@0 162 rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
kkonganti@0 163
kkonganti@0 164 You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
kkonganti@0 165 convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
kkonganti@0 166 in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
kkonganti@0 167 of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
kkonganti@0 168 with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
kkonganti@0 169 the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
kkonganti@0 170 not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works
kkonganti@0 171 for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
kkonganti@0 172 and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
kkonganti@0 173 your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
kkonganti@0 174
kkonganti@0 175 Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
kkonganti@0 176 the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
kkonganti@0 177 makes it unnecessary.
kkonganti@0 178
kkonganti@0 179 3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
kkonganti@0 180
kkonganti@0 181 No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
kkonganti@0 182 measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
kkonganti@0 183 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
kkonganti@0 184 similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
kkonganti@0 185 measures.
kkonganti@0 186
kkonganti@0 187 When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
kkonganti@0 188 circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
kkonganti@0 189 is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
kkonganti@0 190 the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
kkonganti@0 191 modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
kkonganti@0 192 users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
kkonganti@0 193 technological measures.
kkonganti@0 194
kkonganti@0 195 4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
kkonganti@0 196
kkonganti@0 197 You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
kkonganti@0 198 receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
kkonganti@0 199 appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
kkonganti@0 200 keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
kkonganti@0 201 non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
kkonganti@0 202 keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
kkonganti@0 203 recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
kkonganti@0 204
kkonganti@0 205 You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
kkonganti@0 206 and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
kkonganti@0 207
kkonganti@0 208 5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
kkonganti@0 209
kkonganti@0 210 You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
kkonganti@0 211 produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
kkonganti@0 212 terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
kkonganti@0 213
kkonganti@0 214 a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
kkonganti@0 215 it, and giving a relevant date.
kkonganti@0 216
kkonganti@0 217 b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
kkonganti@0 218 released under this License and any conditions added under section
kkonganti@0 219 7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
kkonganti@0 220 "keep intact all notices".
kkonganti@0 221
kkonganti@0 222 c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
kkonganti@0 223 License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This
kkonganti@0 224 License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
kkonganti@0 225 additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
kkonganti@0 226 regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no
kkonganti@0 227 permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
kkonganti@0 228 invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
kkonganti@0 229
kkonganti@0 230 d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
kkonganti@0 231 Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
kkonganti@0 232 interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
kkonganti@0 233 work need not make them do so.
kkonganti@0 234
kkonganti@0 235 A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
kkonganti@0 236 works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
kkonganti@0 237 and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
kkonganti@0 238 in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
kkonganti@0 239 "aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
kkonganti@0 240 used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
kkonganti@0 241 beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work
kkonganti@0 242 in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
kkonganti@0 243 parts of the aggregate.
kkonganti@0 244
kkonganti@0 245 6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
kkonganti@0 246
kkonganti@0 247 You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
kkonganti@0 248 of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
kkonganti@0 249 machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
kkonganti@0 250 in one of these ways:
kkonganti@0 251
kkonganti@0 252 a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
kkonganti@0 253 (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
kkonganti@0 254 Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
kkonganti@0 255 customarily used for software interchange.
kkonganti@0 256
kkonganti@0 257 b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
kkonganti@0 258 (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
kkonganti@0 259 written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
kkonganti@0 260 long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
kkonganti@0 261 model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
kkonganti@0 262 copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
kkonganti@0 263 product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
kkonganti@0 264 medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
kkonganti@0 265 more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
kkonganti@0 266 conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
kkonganti@0 267 Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
kkonganti@0 268
kkonganti@0 269 c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
kkonganti@0 270 written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This
kkonganti@0 271 alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
kkonganti@0 272 only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
kkonganti@0 273 with subsection 6b.
kkonganti@0 274
kkonganti@0 275 d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
kkonganti@0 276 place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
kkonganti@0 277 Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
kkonganti@0 278 further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the
kkonganti@0 279 Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to
kkonganti@0 280 copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
kkonganti@0 281 may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
kkonganti@0 282 that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
kkonganti@0 283 clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
kkonganti@0 284 Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the
kkonganti@0 285 Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
kkonganti@0 286 available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
kkonganti@0 287
kkonganti@0 288 e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
kkonganti@0 289 you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
kkonganti@0 290 Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
kkonganti@0 291 charge under subsection 6d.
kkonganti@0 292
kkonganti@0 293 A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
kkonganti@0 294 from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
kkonganti@0 295 included in conveying the object code work.
kkonganti@0 296
kkonganti@0 297 A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
kkonganti@0 298 tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
kkonganti@0 299 or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
kkonganti@0 300 into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
kkonganti@0 301 doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular
kkonganti@0 302 product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a
kkonganti@0 303 typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
kkonganti@0 304 of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
kkonganti@0 305 actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product
kkonganti@0 306 is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
kkonganti@0 307 commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
kkonganti@0 308 the only significant mode of use of the product.
kkonganti@0 309
kkonganti@0 310 "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
kkonganti@0 311 procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
kkonganti@0 312 and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
kkonganti@0 313 a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must
kkonganti@0 314 suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
kkonganti@0 315 code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
kkonganti@0 316 modification has been made.
kkonganti@0 317
kkonganti@0 318 If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
kkonganti@0 319 specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
kkonganti@0 320 part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
kkonganti@0 321 User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
kkonganti@0 322 fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
kkonganti@0 323 Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
kkonganti@0 324 by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply
kkonganti@0 325 if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
kkonganti@0 326 modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
kkonganti@0 327 been installed in ROM).
kkonganti@0 328
kkonganti@0 329 The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
kkonganti@0 330 requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
kkonganti@0 331 for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
kkonganti@0 332 the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a
kkonganti@0 333 network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
kkonganti@0 334 adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
kkonganti@0 335 protocols for communication across the network.
kkonganti@0 336
kkonganti@0 337 Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
kkonganti@0 338 in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
kkonganti@0 339 documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
kkonganti@0 340 source code form), and must require no special password or key for
kkonganti@0 341 unpacking, reading or copying.
kkonganti@0 342
kkonganti@0 343 7. Additional Terms.
kkonganti@0 344
kkonganti@0 345 "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this
kkonganti@0 346 License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
kkonganti@0 347 Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
kkonganti@0 348 be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
kkonganti@0 349 that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions
kkonganti@0 350 apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
kkonganti@0 351 under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
kkonganti@0 352 this License without regard to the additional permissions.
kkonganti@0 353
kkonganti@0 354 When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
kkonganti@0 355 remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
kkonganti@0 356 it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
kkonganti@0 357 removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place
kkonganti@0 358 additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
kkonganti@0 359 for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
kkonganti@0 360
kkonganti@0 361 Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
kkonganti@0 362 add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
kkonganti@0 363 that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
kkonganti@0 364
kkonganti@0 365 a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
kkonganti@0 366 terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
kkonganti@0 367
kkonganti@0 368 b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
kkonganti@0 369 author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
kkonganti@0 370 Notices displayed by works containing it; or
kkonganti@0 371
kkonganti@0 372 c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
kkonganti@0 373 requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
kkonganti@0 374 reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
kkonganti@0 375
kkonganti@0 376 d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
kkonganti@0 377 authors of the material; or
kkonganti@0 378
kkonganti@0 379 e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
kkonganti@0 380 trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
kkonganti@0 381
kkonganti@0 382 f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
kkonganti@0 383 material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
kkonganti@0 384 it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
kkonganti@0 385 any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
kkonganti@0 386 those licensors and authors.
kkonganti@0 387
kkonganti@0 388 All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
kkonganti@0 389 restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you
kkonganti@0 390 received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
kkonganti@0 391 governed by this License along with a term that is a further
kkonganti@0 392 restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains
kkonganti@0 393 a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
kkonganti@0 394 License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
kkonganti@0 395 of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
kkonganti@0 396 not survive such relicensing or conveying.
kkonganti@0 397
kkonganti@0 398 If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
kkonganti@0 399 must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
kkonganti@0 400 additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
kkonganti@0 401 where to find the applicable terms.
kkonganti@0 402
kkonganti@0 403 Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
kkonganti@0 404 form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
kkonganti@0 405 the above requirements apply either way.
kkonganti@0 406
kkonganti@0 407 8. Termination.
kkonganti@0 408
kkonganti@0 409 You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
kkonganti@0 410 provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
kkonganti@0 411 modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
kkonganti@0 412 this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
kkonganti@0 413 paragraph of section 11).
kkonganti@0 414
kkonganti@0 415 However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
kkonganti@0 416 license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
kkonganti@0 417 provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
kkonganti@0 418 finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright
kkonganti@0 419 holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
kkonganti@0 420 prior to 60 days after the cessation.
kkonganti@0 421
kkonganti@0 422 Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
kkonganti@0 423 reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
kkonganti@0 424 violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
kkonganti@0 425 received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
kkonganti@0 426 copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
kkonganti@0 427 your receipt of the notice.
kkonganti@0 428
kkonganti@0 429 Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
kkonganti@0 430 licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
kkonganti@0 431 this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
kkonganti@0 432 reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
kkonganti@0 433 material under section 10.
kkonganti@0 434
kkonganti@0 435 9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
kkonganti@0 436
kkonganti@0 437 You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
kkonganti@0 438 run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work
kkonganti@0 439 occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
kkonganti@0 440 to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However,
kkonganti@0 441 nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
kkonganti@0 442 modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do
kkonganti@0 443 not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
kkonganti@0 444 covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
kkonganti@0 445
kkonganti@0 446 10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
kkonganti@0 447
kkonganti@0 448 Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
kkonganti@0 449 receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
kkonganti@0 450 propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible
kkonganti@0 451 for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
kkonganti@0 452
kkonganti@0 453 An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
kkonganti@0 454 organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
kkonganti@0 455 organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered
kkonganti@0 456 work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
kkonganti@0 457 transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
kkonganti@0 458 licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
kkonganti@0 459 give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
kkonganti@0 460 Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
kkonganti@0 461 the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
kkonganti@0 462
kkonganti@0 463 You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
kkonganti@0 464 rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may
kkonganti@0 465 not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
kkonganti@0 466 rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
kkonganti@0 467 (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
kkonganti@0 468 any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
kkonganti@0 469 sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
kkonganti@0 470
kkonganti@0 471 11. Patents.
kkonganti@0 472
kkonganti@0 473 A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
kkonganti@0 474 License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The
kkonganti@0 475 work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
kkonganti@0 476
kkonganti@0 477 A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims
kkonganti@0 478 owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
kkonganti@0 479 hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
kkonganti@0 480 by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
kkonganti@0 481 but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
kkonganti@0 482 consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For
kkonganti@0 483 purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
kkonganti@0 484 patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
kkonganti@0 485 this License.
kkonganti@0 486
kkonganti@0 487 Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
kkonganti@0 488 patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
kkonganti@0 489 make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
kkonganti@0 490 propagate the contents of its contributor version.
kkonganti@0 491
kkonganti@0 492 In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
kkonganti@0 493 agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
kkonganti@0 494 (such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
kkonganti@0 495 sue for patent infringement). To "grant" such a patent license to a
kkonganti@0 496 party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
kkonganti@0 497 patent against the party.
kkonganti@0 498
kkonganti@0 499 If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
kkonganti@0 500 and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
kkonganti@0 501 to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
kkonganti@0 502 publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
kkonganti@0 503 then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
kkonganti@0 504 available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
kkonganti@0 505 patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
kkonganti@0 506 consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
kkonganti@0 507 license to downstream recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have
kkonganti@0 508 actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
kkonganti@0 509 covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
kkonganti@0 510 in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
kkonganti@0 511 country that you have reason to believe are valid.
kkonganti@0 512
kkonganti@0 513 If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
kkonganti@0 514 arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
kkonganti@0 515 covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
kkonganti@0 516 receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
kkonganti@0 517 or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
kkonganti@0 518 you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
kkonganti@0 519 work and works based on it.
kkonganti@0 520
kkonganti@0 521 A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
kkonganti@0 522 the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
kkonganti@0 523 conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
kkonganti@0 524 specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered
kkonganti@0 525 work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
kkonganti@0 526 in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
kkonganti@0 527 to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
kkonganti@0 528 the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
kkonganti@0 529 parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
kkonganti@0 530 patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
kkonganti@0 531 conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
kkonganti@0 532 for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
kkonganti@0 533 contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
kkonganti@0 534 or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
kkonganti@0 535
kkonganti@0 536 Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
kkonganti@0 537 any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
kkonganti@0 538 otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
kkonganti@0 539
kkonganti@0 540 12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
kkonganti@0 541
kkonganti@0 542 If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
kkonganti@0 543 otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
kkonganti@0 544 excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a
kkonganti@0 545 covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
kkonganti@0 546 License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
kkonganti@0 547 not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
kkonganti@0 548 to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
kkonganti@0 549 the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
kkonganti@0 550 License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
kkonganti@0 551
kkonganti@0 552 13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
kkonganti@0 553
kkonganti@0 554 Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
kkonganti@0 555 permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
kkonganti@0 556 under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single
kkonganti@0 557 combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this
kkonganti@0 558 License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
kkonganti@0 559 but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License,
kkonganti@0 560 section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the
kkonganti@0 561 combination as such.
kkonganti@0 562
kkonganti@0 563 14. Revised Versions of this License.
kkonganti@0 564
kkonganti@0 565 The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
kkonganti@0 566 the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
kkonganti@0 567 be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
kkonganti@0 568 address new problems or concerns.
kkonganti@0 569
kkonganti@0 570 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
kkonganti@0 571 Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General
kkonganti@0 572 Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the
kkonganti@0 573 option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
kkonganti@0 574 version or of any later version published by the Free Software
kkonganti@0 575 Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the
kkonganti@0 576 GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published
kkonganti@0 577 by the Free Software Foundation.
kkonganti@0 578
kkonganti@0 579 If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
kkonganti@0 580 versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's
kkonganti@0 581 public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you
kkonganti@0 582 to choose that version for the Program.
kkonganti@0 583
kkonganti@0 584 Later license versions may give you additional or different
kkonganti@0 585 permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
kkonganti@0 586 author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
kkonganti@0 587 later version.
kkonganti@0 588
kkonganti@0 589 15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
kkonganti@0 590
kkonganti@0 591 THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
kkonganti@0 592 APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
kkonganti@0 593 HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
kkonganti@0 594 OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
kkonganti@0 595 THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
kkonganti@0 596 PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM
kkonganti@0 597 IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
kkonganti@0 598 ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
kkonganti@0 599
kkonganti@0 600 16. Limitation of Liability.
kkonganti@0 601
kkonganti@0 602 IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
kkonganti@0 603 WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS
kkonganti@0 604 THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
kkonganti@0 605 GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
kkonganti@0 606 USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
kkonganti@0 607 DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
kkonganti@0 608 PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),
kkonganti@0 609 EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
kkonganti@0 610 SUCH DAMAGES.
kkonganti@0 611
kkonganti@0 612 17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
kkonganti@0 613
kkonganti@0 614 If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
kkonganti@0 615 above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
kkonganti@0 616 reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates
kkonganti@0 617 an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the
kkonganti@0 618 Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a
kkonganti@0 619 copy of the Program in return for a fee.
kkonganti@0 620
kkonganti@0 621 END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
kkonganti@0 622
kkonganti@0 623 How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
kkonganti@0 624
kkonganti@0 625 If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
kkonganti@0 626 possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
kkonganti@0 627 free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
kkonganti@0 628
kkonganti@0 629 To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
kkonganti@0 630 to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
kkonganti@0 631 state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
kkonganti@0 632 the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
kkonganti@0 633
kkonganti@0 634 <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
kkonganti@0 635 Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
kkonganti@0 636
kkonganti@0 637 This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
kkonganti@0 638 it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
kkonganti@0 639 the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or
kkonganti@0 640 (at your option) any later version.
kkonganti@0 641
kkonganti@0 642 This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
kkonganti@0 643 but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
kkonganti@0 644 MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
kkonganti@0 645 GNU General Public License for more details.
kkonganti@0 646
kkonganti@0 647 You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
kkonganti@0 648 along with this program. If not, see <https://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
kkonganti@0 649
kkonganti@0 650 Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
kkonganti@0 651
kkonganti@0 652 If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short
kkonganti@0 653 notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
kkonganti@0 654
kkonganti@0 655 <program> Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
kkonganti@0 656 This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
kkonganti@0 657 This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
kkonganti@0 658 under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
kkonganti@0 659
kkonganti@0 660 The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
kkonganti@0 661 parts of the General Public License. Of course, your program's commands
kkonganti@0 662 might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an "about box".
kkonganti@0 663
kkonganti@0 664 You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,
kkonganti@0 665 if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.
kkonganti@0 666 For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see
kkonganti@0 667 <https://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
kkonganti@0 668
kkonganti@0 669 The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program
kkonganti@0 670 into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you
kkonganti@0 671 may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with
kkonganti@0 672 the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
kkonganti@0 673 Public License instead of this License. But first, please read
kkonganti@0 674 <https://www.gnu.org/licenses/why-not-lgpl.html>.
